A British girl has been accepted into university to study psychology - aged just 14.

Millie Smith started home education with mother Kim Smith, 33, in 2020, during the Covid pandemic.

Kim said she realised her daughter felt like she had to learn at school - rather than enjoying it - so decided to let her structure her own days.

Since then Millie, from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, has excelled - and has now been accepted by the Open University.

She will begin studying for a Bachelor of Science in Psychology - from home - in September.
